Abstract
We propose a method for realizing two-dimensional (2D) non-reciprocal (one-way) transmission of discretized light in a dynamically modulated optical waveguide array. By adjusting the phase of the modulation between the defect site and the most adjacent waveguides, asymmetric transmission in the same layer or between the first and third waveguide layers can be obtained. In particular, when the defect waveguide is lossless, 2D non-reciprocal transmission is realized perfectly.
